My favorite scoresheet ever was the one where the judges told me that
American hops were inappropiate in an IPA. I resited the temptation to visit

Great comment Mike. That's a perfect way to get the most out of a
scoresheet.

It's not just numbers of entries, it's understanding judging and knowing
your own beers. I entered 4 and won 3 medals. The judges comments also
have to be read with an experienced eye to be able to improve your
brewing. Most comments are useful even though you may disagree with the
judge. Sit back with one of your entries and your scoresheet and taste
it while reading the comments. Mike

I'd like to echo Rick "you've got to enter to win" idea.
I had 11 beers in the Mash-Out and managed to win with 3. One of my
beers scored a 21.
